Scott Stapp‘s wife and sister-in-law were so concerned about him that they called 911 after he threatened to kill President Obama.

Last month, shortly after leaving a psychiatric facility in Tallahassee, Fla., the Creed frontman went missing after telling his wife and her sister that he was a CIA-trained operative tasked with assassinating the president, reports TMZ.

In an excerpt of the 40-minute-long call, Jaclyn Stapp can be heard telling the operator that her husband is riding around their neighborhood shirtless on a bicycle with a backpack filled with 400 to 600 pages of CIA paperwork that he found online and some assorted tools.

“He thinks he’s part of the CIA. He thinks they’re trying to kill him,” she told the operator. “And he has a bunch of paperwork in his backpack that he’s a CIA agent and that he’s supposed to assassinate Obama.”

As she makes clear during the call, this behavior is something she’s had to deal with repeatedly.

“He’s always suffered from paranoia schizophrenia. But then he self-medicates. And he’s been in eight rehabs. He’s been in rehab eight, 10 times,” she said.

Stapp’s anguished wife also tells the operator she feels that the only way she can actually help her husband is with the aid of the authorities.

“I love him and we want to see him to get better. I just need law enforcement’s help because that’s the only way he’s going to stop, when he hits his rock bottom,” she said.

When police finally caught up with Stapp, he accused his wife of stealing his truck and $6 million from him, and that was the reason he’d been in the psychiatric facility. After the talk, they decided that Stapp was not showing enough signs of instability to be placed under a psychiatric hold.
